I still have to have it, and I'm a woman going on 22. I don't suck my thumb like you'd think of a kid with their blankie, I never did in fact, but I have always slept with it, usually as a pillow, folded in quarters in my pillowcase, or maybe wrapped around my head to block light and sound. I can and will go in to a full anxiety attack if I can't find it, turning on lights and re tracing steps until it's located, and I often can't sleep or don't sleep well without it. I can sleep with out it if I know where it is and say, I just forgot to bring it somewhere with me, but I don't sleep well. It's not like I had some traumatic childhood event either. My friends, parents, and boyfriend all know about it, none of them care, and I don't find it embarrassing. I'm going to keep doing it, even if it is odd. Is it weird that I still cling on to it, or do some of you still have childhood toys and blankets you can't do without?

    I'm the same way about my teddy bear. My Nana gave it to me about 3 years ago and the longest I have gone without sleeping with it is one week.

    I do that too. My husband doesn't care. I sleep better with it, but I don't get anxious if isn't there.

    It's not weird at all. It's a harmless habit that hurts no one.

    I suppose it must be a pretty common thing. I've never had that feeling of being attached to an inanimate object.

    I love my blanket. I have it on my bed right now. I think you sleep with it because it gives you good time memories when you were a child.

    Not gonna lie, I also wear it like a cape when I have insomnia. And when I'm sick, I'll drape it over my shoulders and put a pullover hoodie on over so you cant see it. More than once I have accidentally gone to the store like this. It keeps the back of neck warm in the winter. I'm glad to know that other people still treasure things like this.
